Summariesfor NR6A1 gene

This gene encodes an orphan nuclear receptor which is a member of the nuclear hormone receptor family. Its

expression pattern suggests that it may be involved in neurogenesis and germ cell development. The protein can

homodimerize and bind DNA, but in vivo targets have not been identified. Alternate splicing results in multiple

transcript variants.(provided by RefSeq, Jun 2013)
